400 Libyan MANPADS were taken at Benghazi, confirmed.

But then also some really top-shelf US *recent* manufacture Stingers also trickled their way to the baddies via Qatar (they found a complete serial # tab lodged in the engine nacelle of a US CH-47 that crash-landed in Afghanistan).

The wild card is the other 15,000+ older WTO-bloc MANPADS that had been floating around Libya.

ALL these missiles are outside the USA….?

That would surprise me.

The Turks were also sending Stingers to the “moderate” terrorists in Syria. Turkey makes them under contract with us. In fact there are some 30 nations that are known to use Stinger missiles.
